I think this is a bad idea.

It means ignoring a free vacuum source and installing an extra electric motor to take it's place. This is an extra load on the alternator and will surely reduce mileage.

BTW, you do have braking with EOC, even if it is only 3 or 4 pumps.

I could see maybe installing a small electric motor to maintain vacuum for braking, but not as a primary vacuum source.
